Note that teh combination of uid, gid, and umask work on most drives but I
do have one exteranl drive that is ext3 that I am still trying to find the
answer to how to make it writable by either a group or all users other
than root.

I have a mount problem. I have several usb sticks and a usb external hard
drive and am using Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick. When I mount any of them using
either mount or pmount or allowing them to automount I can't copy anything
to them from the console except as root (sudo to be exact). Also things
like vmware or virtualbox do not have access to them. The command I use
is:
sudo mount -t <type> -o rw,umask=000 <device> <dir>
You can specify the user and group that all files should have by using the
uid and gid values to mount like so:
sudo mount -t <type> -o rw,umask=000,uid=<value>,gid=<value> <device> <dir>
The man page doesn't say, but I'd expect the required value to be a number,
not a username.
